Challenge types in gaming validation of video game challenge inventory (CHA)
2020
Challenge is a key motivation for videogame play. But what kind of challenge types videogames include, and which of them players prefer? This article helps to answer the above questions by developing and validating Videogame Challenge Inventory (CHA), a psychometrically sound measurement for investigating players’ challenge preferences in videogames. Based on a review of literature, we developed a 38-item version of CHA that was included in a social media user survey (N = 813). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a latent structure of five challenge types: Physical, Analytical, Socioemotional, Insight, and Foresight. CHA was amended in another EFA with USA-based survey data (N = 5…
An Ethical Perspective on Loot Box Purchasing : Examining Psychosocial Antecedents and the Association with Indebtedness
2023
Loot boxes are popular random reward mechanisms in digital games, attracting players to invest real money to enhance their gaming experiences. Loot boxes share striking similarities to gambling and might contribute to one’s economic strain, but more research is needed on the underlying vulnerabilities and motivational traits in loot box purchasing. This paper examines associations with self-reported increase in loot box purchasing and debt problems during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. International survey data were collected in 2021, consisting of Finnish, Swedish, and British respondents (N = 2,991) aged 18 to 75. Partial least squares modeling was used as an analytical techniqu…
Miesten ja naisten urheiluvammat salibandyssä
2013
TIIVISTELMÄ Haverinen, Henna. 2013. Miesten ja naisten urheiluvammat salibandyssä. Liikuntakas-vatuksen laitos, Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu tutkielma, Jyväskylän yliopisto, 67 s. Viime vuosien aikana salibandy on kasvattanut suosiotaan huimasti. Lajissa on kuitenkin paljon vaaratekijöitä, kuten yhtäkkiset suunnanmuutokset, kiihdytykset ja jarrutukset sekä kontrolloimattomat kontaktit vastustajaan, mailaan ja palloon. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää vammojen ilmaantuvuutta, tyyppivammoja, vammojen syntymekanismeja sekä vammojen vakavuutta. Lisäksi tutkitaan mahdollisia riskite-kijöitä ja pelialustan vaikutusta vammoihin. Tutkimukseen osallistui seitsemän miesten ja kahdeksan …

Physical qualities and body composition predictors of running performance in national level women’s official soccer matches
2023
The purpose of the study was to (1) determine match running performance, anthropometry and various physical qualities of national level women soccer players and (2) identify key physical qualities and anthropometric predictors of match running profile during a competitive season. Twenty-five national level Finnish soccer players participated in the study. Players performed countermovement jump, loaded squat jumps, 30-meter sprint, maximum isokinetic knee flexor and extensor contractions, an incremental treadmill test and underwent body composition assessment in the lab. Match running performance was analyzed from 115 match observations during competitive league matches over 11 weeks after t…
Jalkapallon pienpelien fysiologinen kuormittavuus
2001
Mäkelä, Ilkka. Jalkapallon pienpelien fysiologinen kuormittavuus. Liikuntafysiologian pro gradu -tutkielma. Liikuntabiologian laitos. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Jalkapallo on fyysinen taitolaji. Kenttäpelaajan kestävyyden tulisi olla vähintään kohtalaisella tasolla, jotta hän kykenee säilyttämään ja hyödyntämään taitotasonsa optimaalisesti läpi ottelun. Jalkapallon kestävyysharjoittelussa intervallityyppiset pienpelit tukevat myös pelaajan taidon ja pelikäsityksen kehittymistä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää tyypillisimpieIi pienpelivariaatioiden fysiologisia kuonnitusvasteita. Koeasetelma muotoiltiin Suomen liigajokkueiden valmentajille suunnatun kyselyn pohjalta. Lisäksi pyritti…

How football team composition constrains emergent individual and collective tactical behaviours: Effects of player roles in creating different landsc…
2021
The aim of the present study was to examine how team composition of players with different roles constrains individual and collective tactical behaviours, and ball possession effectiveness, during competitive 3 vs 3 small-sided and conditioned games (SSCGs) in youth soccer players. Fifteen male players (under 15 yrs, mean age 13.2 ± 1.03 years, mean years of practice: 4.2 ± 1.10 years) from the same club participated in this study. For analysis purposes, on advice from the coaching staff, participants were categorised according to their main team performance role, resulting in sub-samples of 5 defenders (centre-backs = 2 and full- backs = 3), 7 midfielders (central midfielders = 3 and wide…
Moral Attitudes Predict Cheating and Gamesmanship Behaviors Among Competitive Tennis Players
2017
Background: The present study tested Lee et al.’s (2008) model of moral attitudes and cheating behavior in sports in an Italian sample of young tennis players and extended it to predict behavior in actual match play. In the first phase of the study we proposed that moral, competence and status values would predict prosocial and antisocial moral attitudes directly, and indirectly through athletes’ goal orientations. In the second phase, we hypothesized that moral attitudes would directly predict actual cheating behavior observed during match play.\ud \ud Method: Adolescent competitive tennis players (N = 314, 76.75% males, M age = 14.36 years, SD = 1.50) completed measures of values, goal or…
